COLOMBA WITH APPLES AND MODICA CHOCOLATE (PGI)

Modica chocolate, known in the local dialect as “ciucculatti muricanu,” is produced using a special “cold” processing method. This method was introduced to the County of Modica during the Spanish rule of Sicily in the 16th century. The Spanish learned the technique for processing cocoa beans from the Aztecs, and it was the Spanish who were the first to add sugar to cocoa, create the earliest form of chocolate, and spread it throughout their territories, including the County of Modica.

In 2018, Modica chocolate was granted Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status by the European Union.
